By Dr. Jane Tucker, MD, Board-Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Choosing the right IVF clinic is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on your journey to parenthood — especially if you plan to use a surrogate. A reputable fertility clinic not only improves your chances of success but also ensures a smoother, safer, and more compassionate experience.

In this guide, we explore the top IVF clinics in the United States and offer expert tips for choosing the best one for your surrogacy journey.

Why IVF Clinic Choice Matters in Surrogacy

When working with a gestational carrier, IVF success rates, lab quality, embryo handling protocols, and patient care standards become even more critical. The clinic must support both the intended parents and the surrogate with excellent medical care, communication, and emotional support.
